Comment (by yeroslaviz@…):

 thanks, this is what I did and it works great.

 I was able to install the pkgconfig and Gtk2 library without a glitch.

 Thanks for the help.

 Assa

 > If you don't know, the safest solution is to uninstall all ports, and
 MacPorts itself, and remove /opt/local (after making copies of any
 configuration files or other files you wish to save), then reinstall
 MacPorts and the ports you want. That way, you can be sure /opt/local does
 not contain any files that should not be there.

 > However, if you cannot explain why some of cairo's files were already on
 you system, who knows how many other ports' files are already on your
 system, unbeknownst to MacPorts, which may cause you further difficulties
 down the road. Simpler and safer to solve the problem the right way by
 removing MacPorts now, then reinstalling.
